In the sports world, the national table tennis team has always been a prominent presence. However, it has recently become embroiled in a storm of public opinion. The aftermath of the Volleyball Management Center incident has not yet subsided, and the withdrawal of players such as Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, and Chen Meng has further complicated the situation. Liu Guoliang, the head of the national table tennis team, has also found himself at the center of public scrutiny, with many fans even calling for an investigation into the Table Tennis Association.
Famous journalist He Xiaolong has played a significant role in exposing information throughout this series of events. Previously, Du Liyan reported on the head of the Henan Table Tennis Association, which was denied by the association, but this did not quell the incident. He Xiaolong then revealed that Sun Dong, the executive vice mayor of Xinxiang, Henan, was under investigation.
During the 2023 Xinxiang WTT Championship, Sun Dong played a pivotal role, hosting the opening ceremony and participating in multiple press conferences as the highest-ranking local official present. Xinxiang's ability to host this event is largely attributed to the efforts of Sun Dong and Liu Guoliang. After all, Sun Dong was responsible for organizing the competition, and the fact that Xinxiang is Liu Guoliang's hometown is also considered a significant factor. "The one closest to the water gets the moon first," and from a common-sense perspective, this connection seems natural. However, with Sun Dong now under investigation, this undoubtedly casts a shadow over the entire event.
Looking at the impact of hosting the event on Xinxiang, local fans have the most direct experience. Under He Xiaolong's revelations, fans expressed that the two venues built for the competition are now mostly abandoned, except for occasional use as furniture exhibitions, and supporting facilities such as amusement parks and stores are also idle. This is a huge waste for Xinxiang, which is not wealthy to begin with. It is not only a waste of resources but also raises doubts among the public about the value of hosting the event.
Furthermore, famous journalist He Xiaolong disclosed that the head of a certain gold group who participated in the award ceremony during this competition has also fallen. Although the official authorities have not yet indicated a direct connection between the downfall of these two individuals and table tennis, famous journalist Qi Ge stated, "Once you get involved with WTT, disaster is inevitable," to which He Xiaolong responded, "The encirclement has already been formed." From their words, it can be inferred that this series of events is likely related to table tennis. If they are correct, there is a possibility that Liu Guoliang could be implicated. As a focal point in the sports world, Liu Guoliang's current situation is quite passive. The circumstances he faces may be even more challenging than in 2017 when he experienced similar challenges, and the complexity of this incident seems to surpass the previous one.
However, before everything is conclusively determined, we cannot judge a person's innocence or guilt based solely on speculation. As Bacon said, "An unjust trial has worse consequences than ten crimes. Because crime is ignoring the law - like polluting the water, while an unjust trial destroys the law - like polluting the source." We should maintain a fair and objective attitude while waiting for the results of the investigation. Fans hope that the national table tennis team can quickly overcome the controversy, "True gold fears no fire," and if the relevant personnel of the national table tennis team are innocent, it is believed that the truth will ultimately vindicate them; if there are problems, they should be dealt with according to law and regulations, so that the atmosphere in the sports world becomes cleaner and more upright.
The whole incident is like a mist, with various figures and events intertwined. From the withdrawal of players to the investigation of local officials, each link seems to conceal secrets unknown to others. In this era of rapid information dissemination, we must pay attention to the development of events while remaining rational. We cannot be swayed by false information and look forward to relevant departments thoroughly investigating this matter, restoring a clear and just environment for the national table tennis team, allowing it to continue to shine on the international stage and win honor for the country.
